Grand Plans for a New York Tech Hub in the Bones of an Old Hotel

How about a little high-tech synergy in ... Midtown?

Manhattan’s old Biltmore Hotel, where people once met each other “under the clock,” is being reconfigured as a tech incubator across from Grand Central Terminal -- or at least that’s the ambition. The building, at 335 Madison Ave., will be a kind of Silicon Valley in the center of New York, said Matt Harrigan, co-founder and chief executive officer of a company named Company. That’s a partnership between the building’s longtime landlord, Milstein Properties LLC, and Grand Central Tech, which incubates technology startups.
